“Diamond where are you,” I called out my voice trembling but there was no answer, no matter how hard I tried to yell there was still nothing. I was really scared now 'where was she and how could I find her?' Suddenly I heard another high pitched scream that sounded vaguely familiar.

“Angel help its mum she’s trying to kill me, save me,” that was defiantly my sister calling she sounded very anxious.

“I’m coming Diamond,” I yelled in reply, “Just hold on I’ll be there in a minute, don’t move just stay away from her.” I ran as fast as my feet would carry me heading towards the sound of the screaming; which was easy because my sister was screaming really loudly. Eventually I reached another clearing and there she was. My beautiful sister standing stock still her eyes wide with terror; while the woman I once called my mother was standing beside her laughing menacingly.

“Diamond!” I yelled loudly, “Hey you stay away from her. Or else I’ll do something that you won’t be able to just shrug off.” The fake mum laughed a high pitched cackle and smiled.

“I’m her mother darling,” she said mater-of-factly, “I can do whatever I want with my own daughter not that it is any of your business.”

“She is not your daughter anymore,” I said standing my ground, “You were never her mother you’re a monster.” The monster glared at me with pursed lips she smiled at me as if I was the dumbest person in the world, and then she turned her back on me and looked at my sister.

“Are you ok darling,” she said sweetly to my sister and beamed brightly. “If you want we can go shopping later if your sister is okay with it.” She turned to me as if to check if I gave them permission then before I could answer she turned back to my sister.

“Er I guess that’s ok what do you think Angel,” my sister said shakily. “Mum seems to think it’s a good idea but what about you?”

“You want to know what I think,” I said with an edge to my otherwise shaky voice, “I think that this monster should go stick it somewhere else and leave the pair of us alone.” I said the whole thing with such an edge to my tone that the monster took a step back, then she glared.

“Don’t be rude darling,” the monster said angrily, “Do you know how bad it is to answer back to adults and worst of all being rude to adults is practically a crime.” And with that she razed the huge butchers knife in the air and brought it down to my sisters throat, laughing menacingly.

“Angel help me please,” my sister said tears rolling down her cheeks, “I don’t want to die not now not like this it’s just not fair.” I looked up at her and the monster smiled.

“It’s over, give up darling,” she said laughing. She kept my gaze for what felt like an eternity then she turned back towards my sister. In one swift movement she moved the knife down silting my sisters throat. Then she moved the knife further downwards ripping open my sisters chest with the knife; before pulling out my sisters heart and tossing it into the treeline. I screamed out in shock as her lifeless body hit the floor, but it was too late.
